DLISTED – The beef between Meek Mill and Vanessa Bryant appears to be over — Meek announced on Twitter that he’d apologized to Vanessa “in private” after she criticized his (honestly pretty lazy) lyrics referencing / disrespecting Kobe Bryant’s death in a helicopter crash. Vanessa has yet to address the apology, though
REALITY TEA – In Bryant news of a different sort, RHOP star Gizelle Bryant is stirring up that cross-Housewives pot with some words for Real Housewives of Salt Lake City breakout star Mary Cosby. Or, more specifically, for Mary and — you guessed it! — her always-fascinating marriage to her step-grandfather Robert
CELEBITCHY – Eddie Murphy talked to Essence about Coming to America 2 and said he “didn’t want to do…a bad sequel to a movie that a lot of people” love. But that…kind of sounds like a lukewarm endorsement of the sequel?

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – We’ve got our first look at WeTV’s upcoming Mama June: Road to Redemption, which premieres in a little less than a month. Highlights include June “finally” going to rehab and her psychiatrist telling her she’s “out of [her] mind” for thinking she should be in her daughters’ lives right now
VOX – In case you needed another reason to never, ever use apps, here’s a good one: “App trackers secretly sell your location data to the government. App stores won’t stop them”
GO FUG YOURSELF – Come for the pics of Sarah Jessica Parker looking every inch a “high-fashion milkmaid”; stay for the amazing run of milkmaid-themed 90s alt rock puns
THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP – The Duggars have been casting teensy shrub shade on Jill “Renegade” Dillard for weeks now, and it seems Joy-Anna Duggar is the latest family member to take the social media bait
